AT the Cabot meeting there was
quite a fair Mr.. A. NJ. Foster showed
box of New Rose potatoes, originat-
ing in Tennessee, twenty-five of them
weighing thirty pounds, and yielding
six hundred sixty bushels per acre of
sorted potatoes-seven hundred forty
bushels in all. He also showed hand
some sample of Pringle's hybrid spring
wheat. of which he raised thirty bushels
from twelve pounds of seed. Mr.. j. b..
Pike of Marshfield showed dozen
ears of as handsome corn as one often
sees-small cob and long ears. l.. H..
Read showed five varieties of potatoes
the Early Albino," white potato,
said to be very early; the Thunder
bolt" smooth, white potato from Wis
consin and good yielder; the I" Bo-
nanza," also from Wisconsin, red of
good appearance; a White Seeding {"
and :" Cream of the Field.n 1t was a
handsome collection, and the bringing
in of such samples to the board meet
ings is practice which could be fol-
lowed with profit.

OUR report of Professor Cookies talk
on Fertilizers " at Cabot made him
say that twenty-five cents per pound
for nitrogen, as found in the analyses
of the fertilizers, was too high. We
should have said that in these fertil-
izers the farmers might be paying too
high, by purchasing material which
they might not need (not all crops on
all lands need the addition of so
much nitrogen), and not, as might APP
pear, that the manufacturers were
charging too much for their ingredients,
which is not the case.

A Modern Artist.

"I'll marry an artist, II ever I we'd
No matter whatever his fame;
For no other lover" she proudly said,
I" ever shall change my name.
" His heart must be generous, true and brave,
No false-hearted man for me;
For money or power never shall crave,
His love all my riches shall be-"
She lifted her head with naughty air,
light from her dark eyes bright
Flashed out, she never had seemed so fair
Before in her lovers sight.
I've nothing to offer you, dear" he cried,
But just heart, honest and true;
An artist never could be, though tried
And so must say adieu
"Across in the oil works, over the way.
You'll find me n true-hearted friend,
If ever you need one. Good-by, for to-day
IT'S ovcr-my dreams at an end"
He folded her hands in his own, so red
And hardened by daily toll.
d" DON'T go! You're an artist" she blushingly said
Because you're worker in oil"

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Professor G.. II. Perkins of the Uni
versity of Vermont and State Agri-
cultural College spoke of Insects In
furious to Vegetation" There are over
one hundred thousand insects, though
not all in this country and not nearly
all injurious. 1t is his opinion that the
damage done to the farmers of the
country by injurious insects will exceed
half million dollars year. DR..
Lintner, the state entomologist of New
York, says that it is his belief that if
the life history of the injurious insects
was known perfectly their ravages
might be largely checked. One man
alone cannot do this work. Some little
fact which some one may have may be
just what the scientist who is studying
the subject may need to complete
chain of investigation, and which, with
out this fact, would be of no value, and
with it, invaluable. Hence the neces-
sity for more cooperation between the
farmers and the investigator Insects
do not breathe through the mouth; they
have no lungs and make no noise with
the mouth. They breathe through
orilices in their sides. Most insects do
their chief damage in the larva state,
many doing no damage in their mature
and perfect state. Some eat absolutely
nothing, having no stomach or in
testines, their only Office being the
reproduction of the species; but in
the larva state their ravages are

On Thursday, the 2sd, the receipts OF cattle
In Chicago were over thirteen thousand and
consequently the market was demoralissd.
with heavy receipts at the National stock
Yards. st. Louis. on the same day, our market
was but little better. Since then the receipts
have been pretty strong and consequently .
gradual letting down In prices. Every day.
nearly, range cattle are shaved a little In price
and the outlook is still lower prices. Cat
tie are, generally, In better condition than
usual and less thin cattle being thrown on the
market When cattle only In fair nesh come
in competition with the better classes they
suffer largely In price. Shippers should be
very careful about handling the thinner
grades. Our local butchers As well as those
from different states are now all buying
smooth, bloeky range cattle for their home
use in preference TO corn fed stock. Good
smooth 900 pound cattle, only fair fesh. sell
to-day at 81. rs per hundred. while fat eight
